The image shows a skeletal figure in full-body profile, walking to the right with an arched back while holding a long stick. The figure has a head turned slightly towards the viewer, featuring pronounced eye sockets and a toothy grin. It is wearing a large, flowing draped garment that appears tattered, exposing its ribcage and bony limbs. The feet are skeletal, and the legs are bent as if stepping over an uneven surface. The background is indicated by flowing lines suggestive of wind or movement.
